Silent moment - enjoying the sounds.

Today, while I was waiting for my precious bus No.9 after being in the MC office, I was listening to some music on my CD player. It was Bob Marley this time. Normally, I always listen to music and don't want to hear what's going on around me. But this time it was different. I just looked around me and stopped the player for a while.
The city is quiet. People pass by. The trees in front moving in the directions the wind was blowing silently. A bus stopping. Some people get in, after that the noise of the ticket perforators inside. Click! The mechanism making the bus doors close and the specific sound is heard. A plane landing passes over. Laughters behind me. In the other direction - someone already going in the distance is explaining something to someone else...

It was a magic moment. A moment of silence and yet - of sounds. The sounds of silence :) If these are the sounds of silence, then I love it.

I love places where you can hear the voices of people humming in the background but u cannot understand what they are talking about, neither the language they are speaking.
Places like this:
ONDA opposite the Russian church, second floor...
Apart:mental, movie-room terrace:)

Yes, I know ONDA, unfortunately I don't have much time right now to go to this place. To Apartamental as well.
Anyways, it's good to have such places which are different from the "commercial" ones.
